Leng Yichen had a social engagement tonight and wouldn't be back for dinner, so Bai Yiran didn't wait for him. Sister Liu prepared a table full of dishes at Xu Juan's request, and when Bai Yiran saw them, she couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
This table of dishes almost looked like a state banquet; anyone who didn't know might think it was prepared for national leaders.
Xu Juan really cares about face! She really doesn't take herself as an outsider.
Xiao Mei's father is a middle school principal, and her mother is a head nurse, both holding secure jobs. They both have a hint of snobbery. At meals, Xiao Mei's father is used to sitting at the head of the table and, being a principal, he's often flattered and has long been accustomed to others' respect.
So, at dinner, he habitually walked toward the head of the table, only to find Bai Yiran already sitting there, with Xiao Lang standing next to her seat.
